Not when I'm looking for a very fast shot. ;-)  Okay, I stand
corrected, s-o-1036 had SP in its text, RfC 1036 had it also,
and the new standard will keep it.

But the new standard _should_ use a syntax reflecting the text
where possible, name: SP *WSP ... instead of name: SP [FWS] ...
and ... *WSP CRLF instead of ... [FWS] CRLF

If you're really determined to kill message/news, my good old
"Mozilla 3" will survive it (it uses it in forwarded articles).

That's not under the top 10 of all "Mozilla 3" issues, I'm used
to fix its Content-Type: message/news manually if necessary.
